Photo of Lewis Changufu appearing in the Zambia Daily Mail after his death.

Lewis Changufu (October 1927 -- 27 April 2016) was a politician, freedom fighter and the chief architect and co-ordinator of the Cha Cha Cha Uprising at the height of political campaigns to rid the country of colonialism in Zambia.

Early life and education

Changufu’s roots can be traced to Chief Mwamba’s area in Kasama where he was born in October 1927. That is where he started his school, going up to standard six after which he could not go to secondary school following the ban on his entire class from doing so by education authorities in the district after failing to do certain chores despite having written their exams.[1]
